Loyalty matters, but not in all things. Just because you started one way doesn”t mean you have to stay there. People, companies and situations need to earn your loyalty. You don”t have to give it automatically. The new station of Venus in the sign of Leo suggests we stay as flexible, self-possessed and strategic as a cat.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You”ve built up an idea of what you can accomplish and, frankly, so have they. Now you”re both expecting that you”ll meet it, which you won”t. With invisible forces at your back, you”ll surpass it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An eager tourist can get to know a city better than those who call it home. Thinking you know is the enemy of actually finding out. Go to a place where you”re new, or be new in an old place.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Reasonable fluctuations of income, affection, mood, etc. are a natural part of life. You”ll be unflappable in the face of such fluctuations, which is impressive. And those with similar strong characters will take notice.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It”s said that you shouldn”t sell yourself on someone based on potential alone. This applies to yourself as well. Believe that you”re capable of more, but demand proof, too. It”s time to get a little tough on yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Steer clear of the slippery slope. It comes in the form of a person who is irresistibly needy. One small thing will lead to another until you”ve sunk deep into the drama. The whole thing can be avoided from the get-go.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The sun in your sign is like a gas card handed from doting parents to children in college. It”s assistance. It”s fuel. It will help out. It can”t be used for much else than the intended purpose and that”s the beauty of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don”t be more concerned with upholding an image of yourself than you are with growing. How you look to the world will change with the times. So go on and risk appearing foolish. Dare to be a newbie for the sake of learning.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You”ve different standards, hopes, dreams and expectations than anyone else around you. It”s why you really won”t be happy if you conform to the norm. Go your own way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You”re in charge of making time for all those special things you like you to do. Don”t let others pressure you into scheduling what suits them but not you. Put yourself on the books first.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your personal energy is high and your creative wheels are turning. You will give of yourself and let others need you rather than needing them or concerning yourself with their approval.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Fear keeps you safe. It”s your friend. You can feel balanced, alive, in love, productive and at the same time fearful, because nothing in life is certain. The fear is a healthy sign that this is real and you”re not delusional.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Emotion that flows naturally out of a situation is the stuff of life. However, beware of those who use emotion as a tool to attract attention or make themselves more important.
TODAY”S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 26). The word that describes your spirit this solar return is decisiveness. You stop asking questions and decide. The energy of life will carry you spontaneously to new places. Money comes to your family in November and May. You”ll close deals, support causes and love deeply. March brings a bright star to your personal life. Aries and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 2, 28 and 40.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I have an inappropriate crush on the teacher of one of my children. I”m single; he”s not. No one knows how I feel. The problem is that I just can”t seem to shake the thought of him. I cyberstalk him by going on a social-networking sites and looking at the pictures he”s uploaded. I”m so intrigued by him, and every little bit of information I find makes me want to know more. How do I stop this silliness? He”s a Sagittarius, and I”m a Virgo.”
Sagittarius is worldly, friendly, curious and sophisticated. Consider all of the ways he”s captured your imagination and make a list of the qualities you find attractive in him. Consider your list, and then ask yourself how you can embody those characteristics yourself, because that it what this is really about.
In time, your feelings will fade and you”ll be over your crush, happy that you never acted on it. Practical Virgos usually don”t have a problem staying vigilant and self-restrained, because they are so good at taking care of themselves and doing what it takes to support a healthy life and reasonable aims.
